Gloriuos Grass

The waether is FINALLY feeling like Spring around here. Today Memphis had his first play date with the grass..he wasn't quite sure what to make of it.

Recovering

When Memphis visited Dr.Binder the other day he got 3 shots! He was very brave, but is still recovering...with help from his Joe Cool Snoopy band-aids. (I am pretty sure it's going to take Daddy even longer to recover. Memphis was quite pitiful and panic stricken upon receiving those shots...poor baby...poor Daddy).

The First Supper

Memphis had his first meal of solid foods today! He love, love, LOVED it! Who knew rice cereal would be so spectacularly delicious?! Dr.Binder said that it can take most babies a few days to a few weeks to get used to eating off a spoon...not our Memphis! He eagerly gobbled it all and even grabbed at the spoon a few times to shove it into his own mouth. Thus continues a long line of tradition...Bage boys who love to eat.

You talkin' ta me?

Thug Memphis

What has this child been watching?....too many gansta/kung-fu action movies...

New discovery...

With the surge of warmer weather Memphis is finally getting to wear outfits without socks...leading to the discovery of these fascinating (and quite delicious) things Mommy calls feet!

Memphis says...

Giant koosh!

Memphis' new favorite toy!

A visit to Grama & Pop's

Sorry about the wait for the post. We went to visit Grama & Pop in NY...Mommy remembered her camera but forgot the cord to upload pics. Grama bought Memphis new clothes (of course)...including this adorable Harley outfit and sunglasses. It was warm enough for Memphis to wear shorts for the first time - he discovered his feet (how fascinating)! He rolled over on Grama & Pop's kitchen table (Mom and Dad were watching him). He went to Jen's bridal shower and helped out with the favors (see potted plant pic).

We just had a fun, fun time. Love you Grama & Pop!

All in a day's work...

Memphis is always so busy learning. Today he spent time staring at and talking to his reflection in the mirror, as well as practicing to sit up on his own (kind of)...looks like he needs more practice.

What's new pussy cat?

Much to Mahoney's dismay, Memphis has decided that he really loves the kitties too! The jury is still out on whether Two-ee and Gonzalo will return the gesture.

YUM!

Memphis has been putting everything in his mouth lately - and has discovered he can stick out his tongue...just add that in with giving the bird and the list of crude gestures keeps growing and growing.

(see Easter picture for an example of telling someone they're number one)

Getting - SO BIG!

Memphis just keeps growing and growing (we're told that's how it's supposed to work)...he is so big he can use his excer-saucer now - and he LOVES IT!

Going for a spring walk

The eyes! The cheeks!

The little fingers!... can't ... stand ... all the ... CUTENESS!

Big boy tubby!

Memphis loves to float and kick his legs. Mahoney loves to watch.

Happy baby!

Memphis money bags...

Took Memphis shopping...babies are expensive!

Mahoney - my protector!

Memphis sure loves Mahoney...and he sure doesn't love that Tigger toy.

Who said diapers aren't any fun?

Buy him all the toys in the world...and he just wants to play with the box!

Happy Easter, happy spring, happy, happy, everything!

Sorry no post yesterday - Mommy has strep throat. : (

Nonetheless, the Easter Bunny made an appearance at Memphis' crib while he slept. He left a basket full of goodies ( a squishy ball, bubbles, a talking Cookie Monster, a baby chick, some books, a hatchable dinosaur egg...) and even some Cadbury cream eggs for Daddy. Mommy gets penicillin for Easter.

My beautiful balloon!

Mommy and Daddy had lunch at Wendy's today - and Memphis got his first balloon from the store's owner. He thinks it is the best thing since sliced bread...well, since thumb sucking!

New trick...

Daddy is teaching Memphis to stand (just see that look of determination)...our little guy is very advanced, you know.

Oh, the view on you!

Memphis enjoys a new seat...

Hunka, hunka, burnin' love!

Memphis has mastered the piano (toy piano that is)...and oh! the collar...the lip...can't you just hear him now? "Well-a, thank you, thank you very much!" Perhaps his bedroom is actually getting to him.

Diddle, diddle, dumpling...

...one sock off and one sock on!

This kid just can't seem to keep those darn socks on. And yes...he is sucking his thumb. No matter what we do he just won't stop!

Memphis hearts Daddy!

Memphis' new favorite game is touching Daddy's face...it makes him talk, talk, talk, and coo!
